Dear Readers,

As I write this, we're enjoying some lovely spring weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Most of the flowering trees like the huge cherry tree in our backyard are past their prime, but the rhododendrons are gorgeous now.

I'm working on a new three-book proposal right now. It's not to the point where I can share details, but I love getting to know a whole new set of heroes and heroines. Even when I start off with a solid plan about what's going to happen, my characters conspire to surprise me at every turn.

My next book is THE RANCHER'S VOW, which will be released on June 30th in both e-book and print formats. This story is about Trace Calland, the second of the two Calland brothers. He's back in Dunbar with a single goal—to resurrect his pro baseball career with the help of his physical therapist, Avery Unger. Let's just say that things get complicated.

Here are my books scheduled for release this year:

1. A Rancher to Depend On, Book 7, was released on March 31, 2026. It is now available for in both print and e-book formats.

2. The Rancher's Vow, Book 8, will be released June 30, 2026. It is now available for pre-order in both print and e-book formats.

3. To Trust a Rancher, Book 9, will be released September 29, 2026. It is now available for pre-order.

I've also posted the latest installment of NEW RECRUITS, a Paladin story, in the A Little Something Extra section here on the website.

Take care,
